| About
the Art
Box Project
The
Art Box Project is a public art space in the form of a 1m3
perspex box. The Art Box relocates to varied public locations
within Wellington city, producing a nomadic itinerary of
site-oriented installations.
Whether
interpreted as a gallery cube, an errant display case, or
re-imagined as an artwork, the Art Box is a space for artists
questioning the public domain.
Each installation
is considered along with the proposed site: whether immersed
in, or intervening the environment. Site may
be thought of as a specific location or surrounding city
context.
Installations
may be any medium: performance, painting, photography, sculpture,
projection, text, public participation, etc, for any length
of time.
The
aims of the Art Box Project are:
- To
support and present artworks by artists working
in public art practice
- To
contribute to, and engage with critical dialogue
around art in public spaces
- To
actively reach new audiences for, and provide new
experiences of public art
The
Art Box Project Trustees are:
Katharine
Allard, Georgiana Morison, Nick Lott, Richard Clough and
Aisha Habir.
